Dissecting the chemical strain in inactive components of sodium-ion battery cathodes
While chemical strain in the active material of sodium-ion battery (SIB) cathodes during ion insertion/extraction is minimal, inactive components can induce substantial overall strain, compromising stability and performance. This work takes NaNi1/3Fe1/3Mn1/3O2 (NFM) as a model cathode and dissects the chemical strain in inactive components by combining operando XRD and digital image correlation techniques to simultaneously measure the chemically induced phase transformation strain and overall strain. Results reveal considerable negative strain during initial charge and positive strain after discharge, and the positive residual strain accumulates over cycles. A mechanochemical model reveals that the chemical strain in inactive components far exceeds those in active materials, contributing to the large overall strain. This work introduces an innovative approach to quantify the chemical strain in the inactive components, enhances our understanding of electrochemical-mechanical coupling, and guides the development of mechanically robust SIB cathodes.
期刊介绍:
Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research. Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed. Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.
